2009-01-01: Top Life coach: “Top 10 Tips - Make New Years Resolutions Stick” |
Millions of Britons will make - only to break - resolutions
within weeks. But by setting "holistic, specific goals for yourself, your
health and your wealth" you can put yourself on track for success
and happiness for life, says leading UK life coach, Rasheed Ogunlaru.
Launching his Top Ten Tips for Resolutions that Stick, Rasheed
Ogunlaru whose A-list clients include entertainers, politicians and
entrepreneurs says:
"The main reasons we Brits fail to keep our resolutions or
achieve success and happiness is we're not holistic, specific and positive. We're
prone to negativity and set the goals ‘we think we should' rather than ‘we truly
want'. Resolutions to quit smoking or lose weight are great but you need to set
specific goals in the context of your whole life that really motivate you. Only
then are you likely to take action and succeed."
Rasheed's
Top Ten Tips for Resolutions that Stick:
1.
Forget what others do - do it for you. Forget the pressure from
mum, mates and gossip magazines. Set goals for you...take responsibility and
follow them through.
2.
Think ahead ...set 3 year goals instead: We over-estimate what we
can achieve in a year and underestimate what we can in 3. Set a 3 year
plan -
as businesses do - it gives you scope / time to set and achieve goals in all
areas of your life /career.
3.
Be holistic: any resolution like ‘to stop smoking' must be set
in the big picture of your life. Starting with the big picture of what you want
in your
whole life, career and relationships - to give you the
motivation to identify and take the steps necessary.
4.
Start with the end in mind - when you go on holiday or make
any trip you start by deciding / visualising your destination and then plan
the steps
and resources you'll need. This sets your mind on success. Apply this
to your life goals and you'll fly.
5. Your self, your health and your wealth: Set a goal for these 3
areas as it will help you achieve the inner, physical and financial
fulfilment and
security humans seek.
6.
Be specific - Identify the what, why, where, when, how much /
many of your goals. Like shopping the clearer the list you have the quicker and
easier the shopping trip.
7.
Be positive - millions of people focus on what they don't want and
get it. Act on what you do instead. Let go of negative relationships and build
positive ones.
8.
Small, steady steps: Break each task into small steps, this helps your
mind be clear on what you need to do and become confident about
9.
See everything as feedback: Flowers grow through by both sun
and rain. Champions become so by learning from trails and triumph in equal
measure.
10.
Get support - Who do you know who can help you? you can't / needn't do it
alone.
Rasheed will launch his new book "The Gift of Inner Success." this month
with a full launch on Feb 3 at The British Library.
